[PATCH 1/3] common: elf: support loading to address 0

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Many platforms have DRAM starting at address 0, which clashes with
barebox placing kernel images there, as barebox does that before
shutting down and turning off the MMU.

The <zero_page.h> header allows temporarily disabling the faulting
zero page and is already used for boot other types of kernel images,
so use it for ELF images as well.
